FAQ:
Q: Do any of the members have twitter accounts?
A: No. and No.
Q: Do any of the members have facebook or myspace?
A: No. However, you may want to check out SNSD’s official facebook page.
Q: When will SNSD come to *insert country name*? Can you ask them to come?
A: We report most (if not all) of Soshi’s activities, including those outside of Korea. If we have not posted about it, then we don’t know. Unfortunately, we do not have Soshi’s contact information, so we are unable to ask them to visit your country.
Q: Where can I buy SNSD goodies in *insert country name here*? How about Online?
A: We can’t give specifics as to where you can buy them in your country unless we happen to be in the same country. Otherwise, online ordering seems to be pretty universal.
The following are known to be reputable online sellers of Official Girls’ Generation merchandise:
- Soshi Goods
- Gmarket
- DVD Heaven
- Ebay Seller – Grape Music CD
- YesAsia
— - CD Japan
- Amazon Japan [In English]
- HMV Japan [In English]
*We are not affiliated with the above sellers in any way, and are not responsible for issues with your purchases.
Q: Can you promote my project?
A: We generally don’t promote fan projects because it would be unfair to those that we don’t post about if we pick and choose. It also wouldn’t be ideal for us to promote everything that comes our way because that’s not what we’re here for. On occasion, we will make posts about the results of notable & unique fan projects/movements (ie. soshivn), but very seldom will promote the participation of them (whether it be donation or otherwise).
Q: Can you promote my website/blog/forum?
A: Again, this is not done very often due to fairness. You can, however, request for affiliation.
Q: Is snsdkorean biased?
A: Yes. We are SNSD biased.
Q: Can we affiliate/exchange links?
A: That depends… drop us a comment below with the following and we’ll take a look. 😉

SNSD’s “Genie” has won the “best pop video award” by a girl group @ the Space Shower Awards in Japan. Congratulations to our girls :)…
Congratulations indeed to our 9 “angelic” ladies 😀 😀 😀 !!! By the way, their award outfits look like the ones from the Japanese ‘Run Devil Run” MV ;); VERY PRETTY 😉 ! I just LOVE their co-ordinated hair colour here; in fact, it makes the 9 look so much more “sister-like” in appearance 😀 😀 😀 !!!
Hi fellow sones – I have a question about an SNSD song i can not seem to find :S

why has sooyoung only short parts in the videoclips of snsd?
hmmm.
be happy that you at leat see her if snsd were like akb48 id actually get a magnifying glass to find my favorite member.
could anybody tell me why sooyoung has only so short parts of solos in the videoclips of snsd?
That answer is hidden in the mists.
The world will never be good enough, I’m afraid.
And site folk, I like your judgement a lot of the time.
that’s not a real answer on my question! and anyway it wasn’t a real question it was just an appeal to snsd
I just wanna say ~Happy Birthday to Jessica Unnie~ since today is her 22nd birthday. ❤ HAPPY BIRTHDAY ❤ I will always remember you and Snsd. (ALWAYS) I will ALWAYS ❤ you guys. I am your No.1 faaan !!!
-Lots of love, Val Tan
Heey, gotta know if theyre gonna tour summer 2011 22-23 july in Thailand or somwhere in Korea?
Im a swede, so it will be quite difficult for me to get to those small concerts, but im considering going to seoul, korea soon but then I would want to know if there will be any live performances etc.
happy b’day ice princess “Jessica jung”…..
you make me life complete…..
Hey… so I’ve read that you don’t obviously advertise for people’s projects… but I was wondering if the next time you had a spare line or two in a post you could just put a link to my SNSD remix page on Soundcloud?
I know how this works. I check SNSDkorean every single day and I’m not asking for my own post or anything like that – I’m no Robotaki, hahaha. 🙂 But for example, next week when Mr. Taxi comes out the first thing I’m going to do is (learn the dance, and then) make a fresh summer remix of it. I know there aren’t very many people outside of Robotaki and Rex Rowdee who remix SNSD and I think it would be a fun thing to share with all the sones so we can all jam to our girls together. 😉
Thanks! And keep up the amazing blog. It’s super awesome work you all are doing!
Hi…I was just wondering if you could post the running man ep 39 with sunny and yoona guesting somewhere else like twitvid, daliymotion etc. Me along with other SG fans would be really thankful as we cannot watch the videos posted in youtube in our country. Please post it? I have seared everywhere else but could not find subbed videos. Thank You! 🙂
I believe Soshified has uploaded them on both YouTube and Dailymotion! Head on over there!
“Gee” japanese version is now double-platinum (via Chaku-Uta w/ 500k+ ringtone sold), the physical single will soon be platinum certified as well since it has sold 191,506+ copies so far (this could also be a delay count which means they might have sold pass 200k+ copies already). CONGRATULATIONS girls 🙂
Been seeing a lot of music videos of other bands… SNSD come back! T_T We love you!
Happy Jessica Birthday…
Have boyfriend from Soo Young?
Hello! I am the Dew! I’m from Vietnam! I would love SNSD! I wish I could see SNSD! I wanted to see Girls! I do not know why I am in love with SNSD so special. I wish to speak with SNSD! I hope that someday not far away, I will be meeting Girls! Remember! In my heart there is everybody! Please everyone remember me!
if you want to see the girls you have to go on one of their concerts your are living in vietnam you are not so far away like me in europe ! i likely never will see this girls in my live!
SMTown’s having a paris concert on June 10…SNSD will be there. this is your chance to actually see them, lots of Euro-Sones are going!
really?! cool thx for telling! 🙂
Just thought this was worth mentioning – the Gee MV has now had over 40m views
Gee, Oh!, RDR and Hoot have 107m views
just sharing for a good laugh, mblaq lee joon covers genie
You know, that looked a little “disturbing” 😉 if it wasn’t so FUNNY 😀 😀 😀 !!! I still prefer the original “cast members” though 😉 😀 !!!!
lol he kind of looks like the chick from the grudge
Okay, I’m officially scarred because of this little dance act by Lee Joon of MBLAQ.*
The visual representation of ANY man wearing women’s clothing, especially undergarments such as tights (If I’m not mistaken), is more than enough to prove eerily disturbing on anybody’s mind. Perhaps even become a “mindf@#$” of sorts.
*Well, not really. I naturally go “LOLWUT” and put on a shocked expression before reverting back to a normal one soon after, closing the link before I get recurring nightmares. Then again, stuff happens, so… ah, screw it.
hi i really like the header! anyone mind sharing it? and also, which shoot is it from anyway? many thanks!
It’s from the photoshoot for SNSD’s photobook in Phuket ^^

is the hiring process over? and for those who were asked to write the 2 articles during the application process, if they didn’t get a response does that mean they weren’t hired? or are you guys still deciding?
nobody’s been hired yet. sorry for the delay, we’ve just been really busy.
we’ll let you know via e-mail. =)
sorry to sound naggy, im just really anxious to find out if I made it or not ;D
@ bluucrayon
Hey relax 😀 ! Even if we don’t “make the cut”, we can still contribute by commenting regularly on the site ;). As Terrez mentioned in an earlier post, it’s a “win-win” situation either way 😀 ! Remember, we’re not paid anything even if we are successful in being hired 😀 😀 😀 !!!
Possibly you could check out my fanmade vid? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5B69vU4r7iw
Perhaps to be advertised in a post? x
when is mr. taxi going ot be performed on music station?
I’m trying to post a comment but it says that my comment is waiting for approval? Why is that? Is it a new thing you guys started doing recently?
@ RagingXL
Hey, don’t worry too much about it ;). I think it’s some blog programming pre-set. I got this comment a couple of times already ( the latest was when I posted the “Mr. Taxi” CD/DVD credits list that you requested on the blog site) and it usually resolves itself after some time has lapsed. Just be patient, your comment will be accepted :D. Hope this helps to clear things up for you :). Cheers !
Same here, but what Kenneth provided in his reasons for the site doing so pretty much explains why our comments were waiting for approval. Most of the time, my comments wouldn’t even show up for several hours and initially I thought something was wrong with my computer, but I couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause of the problem after realizing it wasn’t my computer’s fault.
After getting accustomed to having my comments waiting for approval by the blog many times and later on reading Kenneth’s comment about why it happens and such, it pretty much assures us that everything will be fine regarding the posting of comments on this blog. We’ll just have to be more patient now if our comment doesn’t show up instantly after we click the ‘Post Comment’ button.
Thanks Kenneth for the tip.
@ Terrez
You’re most welcome 😀 ! Glad to be of help ;). Cheers !
The wordpress platform uses a spam filter called akismet.
We don’t manually approve each comment, as that’s too much work to sift through everything and there’s really no need to moderate comments since we’re pretty open for the most part. If a comment is waiting for approval, then akismet thinks that there’s something questionable about it, and then we’d have to manually approve those that are withheld.
I’m not too familiar with the specifics of how akismet’s algorithm works, but it seems that comments with external links, that are too short, or really really long comments are sometimes filtered. This is likely why Terrez is a constant victim of our spam filter and we usually have to approve his comments on our own lol. If akismet thinks its ‘definitely’ spam, then it’ll just toss it in spam without holding it for moderation. I think this has happened with one of Terrez’s really really really long comments before.
The comments appear immediately once approved, but sometimes this can be hours because.. well, we’re not always on the blog and we need to be logged into the dashboard to approve them. For the most part, its pretty good at knowing what to auto-approve, withhold, or send straight to spam.
Here’s a screenshot of the type of stuff we get for spam (usually by bots):
Yeah, it’s an automatic spam prevention thingamajig that wordpress has. I’ve approved your comment, nice argument 🙂
The Girl’s Generation banner at the top of this blog has been redesigned to accommodate all of the ladies’ radiant and optimistic faces and display their flawless complexions, distinctive beauty and bright expressions. +5 points in my book.
A job well done to whoever did the graphics design!

Ignore this. Needed some sort of platform to express myself.
I was watching Simon and Martina’s interview on ArirangTV the other day, and they did make some rather bold statements on the spot saying how SNSD lack personality and extravagance in their MVs’ and television appearances. It’s a given that ArirangTV doesn’t have the best interview sessions and some hardcore SNSD fans retorted angrily to their statements.
Assuming SaM (Simon and Martina) didn’t anticipate the interviewer(s) questions and came up with answers beforehand, perhaps they might have conjured up an impromptu and inadequate answer. As for the bashing of SNSD to make their bias of Big Bang (Martina’s favourite group) look good, well, humans have preferences, opinions, are naturally biased and prone to making mistakes on the spot. Cut them some slack.
Eventually, some SONEs’ responded that SNSD did have personality and showed them evidence, and for SaM to lose fans because of a little bold statement is a little illogical from my perspective, but I don’t blame the fans because of their irrational behaviour because they’re humans too (referencing my previous point). SaM argued in their defence that “you didn’t have to do outside research to enjoy a video” and apologized for making the statement, although Martina is a little trigger happy about GD&TOP somehow.
Granted, the humour in SaM’s videos’ can be a little distasteful sometimes and doesn’t really suit the “funny bone” preference of some people, but at the end of the day, it’s meant to be a humourous video for our entertainment and not to be taken seriously. I can relate to this because I’m a little bit of a prankster, but sometimes people go off the rails because they’re so obsessed about something their overprotective about at twitch at the slightest negative remark, even though it doesn’t hold any sort of significance.
In the end, SaM apologized and the fans of SNSD have forgiven, forgotten and moved on. I’m a person outnumbered a million to one when talking about the fangirls and fanboys of K-pop groups, but I think I can leave a little bit of advice. If the gentlemen from U-KISS acknowledge watching their videos’ and can take a joke (from Eatyourkimchi’s recent video about the Jeju Inkigayo backstage footage) from SaM in their Music Monday reviews despite sounding a little offensive, that means it’s all good with them, U-KISS even poked with the joke about the math/pi thingy with SaM. One of the members even politely asked if they could do anything for them, which obviously shows that both parties aren’t really all that serious about anything and just wanted to spend some fun time with each other to ‘wahtevar’ around.
To conclude this pointless essay, if K-Pop groups know how to take a joke no matter how offensive it sounds (depends), I don’t see why the overprotective fans can’t. Sure, the fans may not be able to distinguish a joke from a true statement with their current inane state of mind and all that mind-resilience stuff, but that’s a whole different story. Long story short, drop the seriousness and enjoy the entertainment for what it is if it makes some people happy. It’s not all that bad and your favourite K-Pop group know it too when at the end of the day, it’s all in good fun.
Useless essay is useless.
*and twitch.
Totally digging the new banner, soooo cute.
Yeah, 10 “thumbs-up” to the designer that deigned it fit to use that particular photoshot as ths basis for the site banner 😀 😀 😀 !!! I Love It <33333333333 😉 !!!
SKE Staff!!!!
***VITA500 ALSO HAS SOSHI SCREENSAVERS!!!***
Look like you guys didn’t include that in the post! (I don’t think Soshified did either)
The screensavers are cutdown versions of each member’s individual CF put together
I have it now and it is DAEBAK!! hahah
and deh new banner is AWESOME
Glad people likin’ my random banner haha .. I was making a wallpaper for myself because the Vita500 images are so freaking awesome:
Cropping it into a banner afterwards just seemed the natural thing to do. 🙂
SNSD is no. 2 on the weekly Oricon (110k+) selling short of 9k+ units below korean actor JGS :(…no worries, as they’ve sold over 100k+ on their first week barely getting promoted even after they’ve debut in japan last September. the japanese tour will surely boost their fanbase even more and expect of all their singles to climbed back on the charts. hopefully, Mr. Taxi can sell strongly in this whole month of May as they still hold the no. 1 position on the daily chart for 5 days straight already.
I’m sorry for being a hater, but damn that JGS guy. I don’t think anyone in the Jpop music industry saw this coming, JGS just totally coming out and stole the market. Who the hell wouda thought he was so fricking popular in Japan being a total noobie singer and all. The Weekly #1 continues to elude SNSD. Where in hell are all those 300k people who applied for SMTown concerts? J-SONEs need to step up their game!
I’m guessing majority of them bought the single via pre-orders already because one of the editions has now sold out on japanese album sites like CDJapan and HMVJapan. My question is…do pre-orders count for the first week sale because what’s the use of pre-ordering if its not going to be counted? supposedly, Mr. Taxi’s pre-order was @ 200k+, and if that counts towards the first week’s sale then that puts SNSD way in the lead and not only that, they already went platinum for their first week. So I still don’t get the pre-order thing, can anyone confirm how these things work?
btw: the voting is now open for the MTVJapanAwards, and cast your vote for the girls in 3 different categories. lets have SK put this up as an article so that all SONES can vote…and i’ll spread the word to the other SONES on 6 theory 🙂
http://www.mtvjapan.com/vmaj/nominee/#best_group_video
Some commenters just never change LOL…
Yo. Diggin’ the new banner and the SK logo on the side. 🙂 Just had to stop by and say thatt.
Random Question:
why is it this Terrez always writes overly long and critical response about SNSD or anything related to them, lol? every time i see his comments, its always long and overly analyze to the point that all his BIG words don’t make any sense anymore. i don’t mean no harm or to sound rude because i know Terrez is a SoShi fan, but shisuzz…can he just explains his things in plain English…LMAO:)
LOLOLOL. hey i take offense to that D: next time if you come across his overly long comments/drone, just say:
tl;dr.
problem solved 😀
I personally feel that Terrez just likes to write, so let’s give him his due and “cut him some slack” ;). After all, it does make for very interesting reading, no 😀 😀 😀 ?!!!
nah…i usually just rummage through it, then skip, lol! nah…i’m just kidding :)!
@PeachBlossum
So would you rather see me write like this?
50 1 l-l3rd u 1i3k IvIudl<1pZ 4 5l-l0z k0z 1 l13k lVI41 l=r3l/lcl-l l=r13z 4 l=r33.
Or like this?
Hello, my name is Terrez, and I like pie.
@ruraldaze
Lol. you hatez me brah? /joke
@PeachBlossum, Kenneth and Ruraldaze
Actually, forget about my earlier comment. I wasn’t thinking about what I had to write in a response and you might have interpreted it as trolling. I’m doing this now before my mind goes blank. To be fair, I’ll attempt to write as concise as I can and summarise the information given in clear, simplified English to the best of my abilities so that it doesn’t tire anybody’s eyes out.
—
First off, I’m glad that PeachBlossum’s impression of me is of a SONE, not a troll. And I appreciate the kindness in not sounding rude at all when talking about the way I write and I’ll take it as honest feedback and constructive criticism. He/she has the permission to judge the way I write and how it can be long-winded because I too, am able to see how it can be excessive and overly analytical in terms of words used and points given respectively, although I’m still having some difficulty in addressing those flaws.
Most of the time, I often think “Hell yeah!” when I’m meticulously writing out an elaborate comment, but regret my decision in clicking the ‘Post Comment’ button and think to myself “What the hell was I thinking?” As a result, I’m experiencing the same problem in reading EVEN my own comments, just like anybody else as it has that bemusing factor to it. So I tend to stick with writing shorter comments, but I have this uncontrollable urge that itches me to write superlatively. I’ve tried to overcome it, but it often prevails over me, unfortunately. But I’m making steady progress in screwing that urge over somehow, so wish me luck.
But when it comes down to writing about SNSD, it’s not my forte. I try to squeeze every bit of information I know into every nook and cranny imaginable just to write about how impeccable the ladies are, but it always backfires on me, resulting in a misfired attempt with turgid, bewildering comments that are difficult to comprehend logically and it’s interpreted by other commenters as “I have no freaking idea what the heck he’s talking about.”
Many thanks go out to PeachBlossum for taking the initiative to speak up and comment on my writing style as I’m able to understand my writing liabilities further and improve on them. While also making light of the needs of other people and how I can address those needs without making too much a fool of myself. =D
—
As for Kenneth, he’s right to say that he personally feels that I like to write. In addition to visiting this blog for the latest news regarding SNSD’s involvement, I also use it as a digital platform to practice my literary skills and share it with other visitors like Kenneth, who I’ve grown to view as a trustworthy individual who loves spazzing over SNSD.
In my defense, he tells everyone to cut me some slack as I’m just doing what I like to do for recreation, and I appreciate that effort in doing so. Perhaps I’ll be able to return him the favour one day.
While what I write does make for an interesting read for Kenneth, I still don’t consider myself that great. I’m somewhat of an aspiring writer with so much more to learn, so hopefully I’ll be able to produce some quality articles in the future. Perhaps even write about him, lol.
—
Ruraldaze, I don’t know how you deem PeachBlossum’s first comment as offensive, but I telling him/her to say ‘TL;DR’ whenever she sees a comment made by me is a little unnecessary. I’m well aware that my articles are viewed as excessively long, but I don’t think it needs to warrant a ‘TL;DR’ on every occasion. It’s much more unproductive to write ‘TL;DR’ as a response to every comment I make than to write just one short response telling me what’s wrong with my writing style and what improvements can be made/done. Makes perfect sense, no?
—
Thanks for reading.
I hate Skynet.
@Terrez
don’t get me wrong! i enjoy sipping on a steaming mug of chocolate and reading stuff that provides insight and valid opinions; it helps me see things in a different way. I was merely offering peace of mind (if any) to @PeachBlossum and his/her random question. At least someone acknowledges your presence
I took offence to @PeachBlossum’s comment to you since I tend to go off a tangent in my comments too. I only have my narcissistic lecturer to thank for that.
hi ppl! help nominate our girls on MTV video music japan aid here!

I just wanna say.. THAT YOUR HEADER IS LIKE SO AMAZING AND FULL OF WIN.
I mean BANNER.. sorry, I didn’t know the difference between a banner and a header >.<
@ Terrez:
LOL…I didn’t think my harmful comment got to you, but I’m sorry if it did because for sure I don’t feel that way about you…not at all! I think you’re a 100% SONE and never once thought that you are a troll because your writing doesn’t leave that kind of trace. I just find it rather amusing that you often write a VERY long explanations that often end up getting side-track from your original point. But I do agree with Kenneth and you do have a talent to write you just need the proper training and you will be able to grab a reader’s attention without feeling like the reader is getting lost with your writing. Have you think about applying here @ SK as a staff writer? It would be beneficial not only for this site, but it will further enhances your skills in writing.
@PeachBlossum and Ruraldaze
Thanks! =D
To be honest, I did submit an application for the writer’s position here at SNSDKorean in the past, but they rejected it. It didn’t deter me from applying or write ever again because I was well aware that my application was chock full of hackneyed and incomprehensible writing, and was entirely my fault. Not to mention, I didn’t really give convincing or legitimate reasons for some of the questions and lacked the qualities of a good writer. So what reason did SKE have to hire me when I wasn’t able to fulfill their criteria for the writer’s position?
At the time, writing was a foray for me. I lacked experience and was clearly unprepared for the role. I respected the decision to reject me because the problem lied with me and I had to seek out solutions to the problem. The comments section sort of became my area of practice and to get myself acquainted with the protocols of this blog. So while I was accruing experience, I didn’t really see the role of being a writer for SKE that significant to me any more, and because the comments section had provided me with all the necessary components and was a satisfactory workspace for any aspiring writer, at least to me, of course.
So as my interest in becoming a writer waned, I sort of preferred being just a regular commenter who found it beneficial in being just a visitor as I can’t really imagine the “Stressful workload” of being a staff member. I liked having the freedom to write whatever I please and because I was occupied with other things in life. So… you won’t see me as a member of SKE any time soon. I’m sticking with the good ‘ol comment’s section and posting comments every now and then, giving the occasional ‘wise’ word, haha.
—
I feel your pain, Ruraldaze. Good to find another person whose experiences are relatively akin to mine.
@ Terrez
Thanks 😀 ! I appreciate the nice comments from your good self ;). An article about me , huh ? 😀 😀 😀 !!!
Loving the new banner!
@ ruraldaze:
i don’t see the reason for you to get offended by my question regarding Terrez’ writing because my question isn’t about you. not all of us have the time nor patient to read long comments like Terrez puts up on an SNSD’s article regardless of whether he was complimenting them or not. i don’t mind reading at all but if i find that the writing just gets away from the original point of their explanations, then i don’t really see the need to write such a long and obscure comments that sometimes don’t make sense to readers like me. we all come here with the same intentions, and that is our love for all things SNSD so don’t make me think badly of this site (nor its writers) because you somehow felt offended by a comment that wasn’t even address to you in the first place, but a fellow reader as well. and btw…i’m a girl!
lol I was trying to be emphatic towards Terrez, and rightfully so. It was all meant in good fun. One thing you need to know about me is that I’m rarely serious when it comes to teh Internetz. And I don’t see the point of having a serious discussion/debate about other’s knack of writing longass comments when it’s a win-win situation in the first place.
Girl? Fun fact o_o
“About other’s knack of writing longass comments”
…
Longass.
….
LOL.
well, u just contradicted yourself from your original reply about being offended by my question in the beginning. and i thought my questioning another person’s way of writing is more of an observation rather than a criticism, but then again you and all others might think otherwise. its funny because you’re one of the writers in this site and you’re suppose to take a neutral stance, yet Kenneth was the one who actually came off as a neutral bystander instead.
“And I don’t see the point of having a serious discussion/debate about other’s knack of writing longass comments when it’s a win-win situation in the first place.”
i agree…except the fact that your reply came off sounding rude, you did reveal that “you tend to get off the tangent…” which i take as something you meant on purpose.
Exactly.
I contradicted myself on purpose because I was merely joking. Look, even if Terrez can brush it off and let it go even if he was the one who got judged in the first place and I tried to take the comment lightly, I suppose it’s fair that we can have a good laugh over it. I’m sorry if my words came off sounding rude. I could have added a smiley at the end of my seemingly rude comment to indicate humour; I guess I’m just bad at expressing myself.
Believe me, there are worse things than taking offense to an intended harmless comment, or a witty retort. Like, whether to get tickets to SM TOWN Paris, working hard for a promotion, or deciding between the front seat or the back seat.
btw, you got it wrong. I am not a writer for snsdkorean.com. I’m just a fellow visitor/commenter like you guys.
I’m not the type to interfere in these situations, but before this gets even more “off tangent” (so to speak)…..
*clears throat*
I quote Boss Lady: “sorry guys hate to break up the lovely conversation, but we try to keep this page more concerned towards snsd and not really personal, social matters if anything, take it somewhere else and chat and not here. thanks”
❤ you all
@hyobaby fingers crossed for May 13th, which is also Black Friday :S
tanx fro replying!
HA ! HA ! I Love the gif, MintChoc 😉 !!!
Yeah, time to “cool” the discussion and “move on” 😀 .
I’m going with MintChoc. This isn’t a social lounge area, as it’s more oriented towards asking questions and leaving comments, hence the name. Got a little carried away, sorry.
It was good while it lasted though.
By the way, what happened to the automated chat system at the top right of the front page? (Forgot the name)
what is yoona’s cellphone in family outing season 2? the flip cell phone that is color pink. you can see it here:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcnz4y_forsss2ep2-2x5_fun
PLEASE HELP ME!! I REALLY WANT THIS PHONE!!
If you mean chatroll we axed it due to being empty 22 out of the 24 hours each day
Have you guys considered a Shoubox implementation on the front page of the blog? I was on another WordPress fanblog that has a shoutbox on the side of the front page and it is heavily utilized and seems to generate a lot more interactions and fun conversations. I think that could be a great alternative to Chatroll because it’s fully integrated and it doesn’t need to open another browser window, plus people can read articles and be chatting at the same time.
As far as I know, shoutbox does not work with wordpress hosted blogs.
Oh really… the fanblog I was on that had the shoutbox was also a WordPress blog. But they revamped the site a little while ago and the shoutbox was removed, don’t know if that’s due to incompatibilities with WordPress. I would’ve linked you to see the example if it was still there. Do you have any other chat options besides chatroll and shoutbox?
gotcha, MintChoc o_o
not sure if this was shared… some crazy colours going on there!

SKE Staff!!!!
***VITA500 ALSO HAS SOSHI SCREENSAVERS!!!***

The screensavers are cutdown versions of each member’s individual CF put together
I have it now and it is DAEBAK!! hahah
We heard you the first time you posted it :), no need to clutter us up with a repeat post
hahahah sorryyyy….no one responded 😀

Unfortunately no… But keep checking back with us, as we will keep you updated on the girl’s upcoming events.
ya, yuri ah, nae yeojachinguga deojullae?
kidding…=)
hwating snsd!
I miss snsdkorean.wordpress.com it’s like I haven’t visited for a year. I miss you guys. Thanks to the staff and all contributors. 🙂 can I ask what the staffers do and when you accept applicants?
Well, I’ll be unable to check in for some time, so I’ll take that as an excuse to be a little more forward this time.
We all come to the park to play. But if someone staples his treatises to all the trees or is given to giving long speeches in a loud voice, isn’t it fair that the other patrons might enjoy coming to the park a little bit less?
And as far as “providing insight and valid opinions” – that would be easier to swallow if providing conflicting opinions or invitations to refine the point didn’t bring on charges that you don’t understand (because you’re not smart enough) or that you’re just trying to prove who’s smarter. I already miss not having to bite my lip whenever reading the comments. I’m going to miss doing so anyway.
The situation has improved, but everything is a work in progress. Hopefully all parties will continue to make the effort towards mutual accommodation.
Whew, that’s me being forward? Well, there’s a lot I could say and only slightly less that I want to say, but I didn’t. If anyone frowns one my inviting a topic that I’m not going to discuss, perhaps a parallel can be found in the above.
I suppose one doesn’t have to take the internet seriously, but one ought to take other people seriously. Like Kenneth once said, one ought to think before writing – not only about what is to be written, but about the people who are going to read it. Thanks site folk and commenting folk and ’til then!
No doubt, those are wise words.
quick updates on SNSD’s releases in japan:
“Hoot” repackaged album: 159, 254+ units sold (a jump from last week’s 132k+ units) and its already rivaling their S. Korean physical sales which is at 164, 000+ units. its also selling better than their first japanese release “Genie.”
“Genie” : 146, 540+ units sold
“Gee” : 193, 763+ units sold (well on its way to 200k units) though this could be a delayed count…”Gee” probably sold 200k+ already because counts are done weekly instead of daily.
“Mr. Taxi” : 100, 461+ units sold…oricon weekly will be release on Tuesdays (i think?) and “Mr. Taxi” currently is at no. 6 on the daily oricon.
Just to let you know! Girls Generation shows up in the new drama ”baby-face beauty”. its just their photo. Biut still.
Here`s the URL: type it in youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3kaMnxiTCQ&feature=player_embedded
It starts at 3:04. 😀
That’s so cool 😀 😀 😀 !!! Anyway, any exposure is good, right 😉 ?!!
Yh Sure is!
*rumor*
SNSD’s first japanese album will be release on June 1, which coincides with their arena tour ^_^
That rumor has been around since Yurui reported it around 2 weeks ago, nothing has materialized. I have doubts about this rumor because they usually announce their Japanese releases way in advance, pulling a surprise release would seem to go against their usual practice, although it would be a very pleasant surprise nonetheless.
yeah, i figure lots of SONES are already aware of this but UMJ already released a statement that an album will be release soon. i also heard about an endorsement deal (collaboration more like) with 7-eleven franchise in japan with SNSD.
Hey SNSD fans! Have you heard that some members of SNSD might land a role for Hana Kimi, an upcoming Korean drama based on a Japanese manga?? While we wait for news on the cast confirmation, thought I’d share this fan video! Hope you all like it! http://goo.gl/QVb76
How do we get a body like SNSD?? (:
Hard work, perseverance, exercise, healthy diet & most of all…. God given genes xD
is this real fansite of SNSD??
if yes, can SNSD perform in indonesia??
especially in bandung or jakarta…
why are there no latest news about SNSD in this website ..everytime I visit this website it never change…goguma..chuchu
I think it’s because the site adminstrators are busy with exams and work commitments at the moment ;). I’m sure the site will be updated once the admin staff here has time on their hands again 😀 . Please be patient and support them in this time of need. Thanks and cheers !
Kenneth.
yes, just like Kenneth has said, a lot of our staff members have been on hiatus or went MIA due to exams, work, vacation, etc. Thus, our updates have been slow. On behalf of our staff team, we apologize.
p.s. thank you, Kenneth :]
hey, just found out this site like a few weeks ago, really love snsd but dont no korean D=, so i finally found you guys =D. i was wondering if you guy update like everything that happens to them. for ex shows they go on,guest apperances, performance,rumors etc… do you guys post about all of these? also did any of the staff talked to any soshi member before? thanks for taking the time to read this, and would apperaicate if you reply.
😀 i’m glad that u’ve found us haha. to answer your questions, we usually update on almost everything especially when they’re on shows, guest appearances, performances, and certain rumors, but not EVERYTHING. sometimes, we leave out or don’t update on certain things that we think aren’t necessary to post about. we do try our best to post about everything though :]]
& hmm, to my knowledge, we have staff members that have seen the girls up close in real life (https://snsdkorean.com/2010/09/15/snsdkorean-staff-fan-accounts-of-sm-town-10-in-la-soshi-encounters/ or https://snsdkorean.com/2011/04/05/back-on-stage-for-lg/), but i don’t think any of our staffs has personally had a conversation with any soshi member before :[
Although, if it counts, we have one staff members that has talked to taeyeon’s mother before and interviewed her. You can read about it here:
Please continue to support our site 😀
when snsd comes to indonesia ?? or jakarta ?? :”(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PdM9ctoYPE
Ho ho hoot!
I have to say this. I’m kind of worried about Yuri 😦 She doesn’t look healthy anymore.
@cherry: Do you happen to know where/when this performace took place? I know it says May 11th on the video, but I didn’t know the girls were doing any events today. Great video nonetheless!
the performance was earlier today at kbs’s ‘input concert’. we’ve just made a post about it a few minutes ago. u can find it on the front page :]
p.s. on behalf of the staffers, sorry for the late updates guys.
^ @cherry OMG … she looks likes shes getting really thin 😦 😦 ~pwease stay healthy!!!!
Were you/anyone at kbs’s ‘input concert’?
Did you notice if stage security had been increased?
Aside from our Hero Sunny I hope there was better protection for our Angels.
there’s a rumor that ARASHI members dance to one of SNSD’s songs on their song (vs. ARASHI). we have yet to know what exactly that song is until the show actually airs…but hopefully someone picks it up and write an article about it :). wow…ARASHI members recognize “our” girls, hope they invite them in their show sometime in the future!
How much do you guys pay each month to get the URL “snsdkorean.com”?
No Sunny bday thread?
thinks greeentee should check his emails…
i was sleeping. stop creeping me in my sleep aun.
I had just refreshed the page. And what greets my eyes immediately the moment I set them upon the “Boys and Girls” column on the right hand corner of the front page? A picture of Kenneth’s iconic Tiffany thumbnail which he uses for his wordpress account in the presence of other accomplished writers and staffers of SNSDKorean.
As I sluggishly sit down to rest on my chair before listening to one of the OSTs’ (Breathing Love*) from the Bejeweled 2 Deluxe edition soundtrack for the PC on Youtube, I worked up a weak but honest smile and chuckled a little to myself. His satisfaction to finally be on board and work alongside such talented individuals, among a community who love SNSD… and a blog peopled with supportive and intelligent readers like me. Kenneth has grown on me, and that’s all the motivation I need to oversee his progress and growth of his character (not in a bad way, of course), and to support him all the way.
It’s somewhat akin to the experience of a parent raising his child, finally seeing him/her leave the nest as the proud parent sheds a small tear and it rolls down his cheek. There’s absolutely no doubt that I cannot suppress my happiness for him. I’m way beyond elated to see him make the cut. His ‘achievement’ (no other word I can think of) can definitely be felt from all angles as it has gratified me. If he’s in high spirits, the happiness spreads like a contagious virus (so to speak), so that means I’m happy too, kind of how Tiffany’s optimistic attitude can alleviate any aggravating experience for anybody and supplant it with positive emotions.
Congratulations mate. You deserve it.
Told ya I was gonna write ’bout you, hehe. =D

Not to mention, initially I thought that my eyes were deceiving me. So I refreshed the page a total of 9 times just to clarify to myself that I wasn’t seeing mirages. I literally went “Holy crap” when I saw the thumbnail and clicked on it. Despite having no posts yet as I write this comment, it meant that he finally made it. Woohoo!
LOLOLOL 4 weird comments.
@ Terrez, SunnyBunnySoFunny :
